That said, I think we can all agree that religion, and religious institutions, have no place in government and need to be weeded out and left behind as quick as possible. Separate church and state.

Until the Conservative Party sheds it's religious right elements within its party and stop catering to it, they alienate anyone even remotely socially left who vote on social issues. They should be a centre right party, and you can't be that when you have a homophobe like Scheer running a national party.
Harper did well by distancing himself as much as possible to those elements. Why on Earth did the conservative Party put Scheer in charge (and 2nd was Bernier?). Trudeau was one of the weakest leaders in Canadian history and he couldn't be beat because of truly unlikable candidates

Scheer, Bernier, Trost, why elect these socially right types that won't get anybody new to vote Conservative?
